Now that graduation is past and the semester is officially ended, I wanted to say thank you to all of the people who helped me get through this most difficult semester. I think that I took for granted how many wonderful people I have in my life, people who rallied around me and supported me. To all of the family, friends, students, and colleagues who supported me this semester and beyond--THANK YOU. And for those of you who have not yet heard the news, I'm sorry that you're seeing it here, and not from me directly. My father passed away this past January. He was the best father I could have ever hoped for.

I am a comic book reading assistant professor of English who loves Boston Terriers. :)

Introduction

It seems to be a rare thing when you get to do what you love for a living, and luckily, I am one of the people who can say that--I love what I do, and my work doesn't usually feel like work. I get to teach English Composition and World Literature to college students at Jackson State Community College, and I get to spend my spare time with my family, Boston Terriers included, reading comics and playing games.
